Did Jesus Really Descend into Hell

Hell

This idea that Jesus descended into hell and was there in hell for three days and three nights while His body was in the grave is something that has been around ever since the second century but is it really true? Now everyone of us has heard of the Apostles Creed and I want I want to read you part of the apostles creed

THE APOSTLES CREED

I believe in God the Father Almighty, make of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

Now is there anything in that Creed that is unscriptural? Talks about His birth, His crucifixion, His death and that it said he descended into hell. Is that correct? That is a fable my friends that is a Jewish fable that has been around ever since the second century at least and I want to explain to you how this fable came about how this to belief crept in to the Christian faith. Now this is a very disturbing trend that is in Christianity today because it appears as though that when something is taught and then it kind of catches on and no one challenges it. No one seems to do the research to tell people but it's a ministers job to do the research and find out whether something is true.
